re: I know we're out of the playoffs and it's been a rough year, but(Posted by efrad on 12/23/12 at 3:54 pm to white perch)

For everything that happened in the offseason, we were destined to go 2-14 or 3-13. Instead, we had what could be considered an average season by historical Saints standards, we have a chance to end up .500, we were in the playoff hunt until week 16, we ended the Falcons' chance at perfection, we went 2-1 against the Falcons and Cowboys. It certainly isn't the 10-win or 11-win season I was hoping for in the preseason, but we haven't hit rock bottom and assuming the Payton situation ends up OK we should be back and ready to make a good run next season.
